### **​**:small\_orange\_diamond:LCA-CARBON Project about the GHG emissions linked to land use and changes in land use <a href="#rapport-du-projet-olca-pesticides" id="rapport-du-projet-olca-pesticides"></a>

GIS REVALIM wanted to advance and improve the current LCA method for taking into account variations in Carbon stocks in soils and biomass, and the associated GHG emissions linked to land use and changes in land use. In this context, the ACV CARBONE project, co-funded by ADEME and coordinated by ARVALIS-Institut du végétal and INRAE, has proposed concrete solutions that are currently being discussed for potential integration into the Agribalyse 3.3 version (due in 2026).\
The project has produced several deliverables:<br>

* **An**[ **initial bibliographical report**](https://librairie.ademe.fr/produire-autrement/6717-variations-de-stock-de-carbone-organique-du-sol-en-analyse-du-cycle-de-vie.html)**, available** in the ADEME library.
* **The** [**project's final report**](https://librairie.ademe.fr/agriculture-alimentation-foret-bioeconomie/7729-agribalyse-acv-carbone.html)**, available** in the ADEME library.
* **A scientific article published in the International Journak of LCA:** [Modelling greenhouse gas emissions of land use and land-use change using spatially explicit land conversion data for French crop](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11367-024-02398-4)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that the proposals described in the final report have not been integrated into the AGRIBALYSE database at this stage. The proposal is currently under discussion within the GIS REVALIM strategic committee, for potential integration into AGRIBALYSE version 3.3 in 2026.

Previously, the subject of Carbon in soils had also been the focus of the SOCLE project. Several reports have emerged from the SOCLE project:
